Keep us posted.

thanks again man. I'll post pics of it all this weekend. I almost hope I find some problem so that I know where the oil pressure is being lost at.

PQ, just saw this on FB this morning and thought I'd share with you. It would be a sweet deal if you were the only bidder on it. Lol

Soooooooo............

Why not re-buy the cam and two lifters and put it all back together and run it while I save money? Sure, it might die in a few months but it might live for a year or more. I would have a car to drive while I wait. AND it will give me a practice run on the install. It's worth the 400.00 to 800.00 it would cost me to do it.

In the meantime I"m saving for my new engine from Livernois. Ya?

It was great meeting you this weekend PQ. I believe Dave already sent you a few quotes with different options for you correct? Let me know if you have any questions or need anything. Talk to you soon sir. -Chris

Bonnie came to me and said she'd rather skip the anniversary stuff and go to the fest.

I got them yes.

I do have a few questions as to what some of that stuff is. Street or Sport but I got them.

Time to take my wallet to the gym to pump it up. lol

Bo White · 08-07-2013, 02:08 PM

If taking my wallet to the gym to get pumped up has the same success as my body I'll pass lol.

litle88 · 08-07-2013, 02:44 PM

Lol good luck with that PQ!

zebra · 08-07-2013, 10:04 PM

hmm... i could be calling a guy named Brett in TX and picking up the next TR6060/Z06 diff conversion he comes across.
$7k & a little exhaust work later, i'd be carving more mountain roads without a worry in the world
